Also the New Zealand commentating was fantastic. About as straight down the middle as any team can get. The Bok commentating is okay but still too one sided, and the Aussie commentators just whine.

Yeah agreed I do enjoy the NZ commentating much more. Although sometimes they say a few silly things and miss a few details. But overall the better of the 3 countrys I feel.
And tbh listening to the Aussies when there losing is gold. |

The Aussies make Bob Skinstad and Hugh Bladen look like unbiased straight shooters.
PS. Hugh Bladen is possibly the biggest knob ever. |

Tbh he looked nothing like the beast he was 2-3 years ago. I had third row lower tier tickets for Wales vs New Zealand in 2006 so I was right up close, and god was he an animal.

When will we beat New Zealand!! Knew we wouldn't win Saturday though, we're lacking cutting edge in the final third at the moment. If Alun Wynn-Jones had looked LEFT on his interception run then we may have scored to tie the game but there we are. One of these days...

Good win for Ireland. South Africa just couldn't kick, or play, in that weather. They looked pretty burnt out.

I don't care if you put 100 points on us, that still doesn't make up for losing to Scotland.

Aye we were shit. We need a new game plan and fast, it's so predictable. Losing the ball ridiculously at the breakdown too. Things may improve a little when guys like Mike Phillips, Adam Jones and Shane Williams return, but this Autumn's been pretty horrible and Gatland and Edwards need to completely overhaul our game before February.

Thought I'd revive this for the 6 Nations. Ireland are currently beating Italy 13-3, England vs Wales later, and Scotland vs France tomorrow.
Not optimistic about today to be honest. Unless Gatland has some master plan and has overhauled our game, we'll just be conservative and predictable as usual and won't win at Twickenham. Plus with Gethin Jenkins out I think our front row is fucked. |

Dreadful game yesterday. Italy are awful and Ireland played right into their hands. Terrible match. France will trounce us next week if there's more of that.
There should be a time limit in the ruck before the ball is in free play again to stop the sort of shit witnessed yesterday. England weren't very impressive in winning, it's France's year I think. |

I haven't caught any 6N yet, but the super 14 starts this weekend with the Hurricanes v Blues game.
I'm picking the Crusaders, Hurricanes, Buils and perhaps the Blues or Brumbies into the Semis this year. While the big talking points round the watercooler are Ali Williams tearing his Achilles again, 3mins into his comeback warm up game. Sending him out again this season. How Aaron Cruden will do as Hurricanes 1st five after an amazing NPC. Chris Jack's return to the Crusaders. Dan Kirkpatrick, Stephen Brett and Alby Mathewson's transfer to the Blues, finally giving them some talanted halves. And Carlos Spencer playing for the Lions.

That was a disgrace yesterday. Awful discipline, terrible handling. Got the beating we deserved.
Wales v. Scotland was a great game, even if it was more ill-discipline that cost Scotland the game. Can't believe they let Wales off the hook, they're just not used to winning games. |

Wales were shit and have been predictable since 2008. Don't know how we won that game, but somehow we did. Like Shane said at the end though if there's anything that can turn us around, it was a win like that. Two weeks now to get ready for France and if we can win that one on a Friday night in Cardiff, we'll have a huge Ireland/Wales showdown at Croke Park.
Someone needs to beat England though ![]() |

Ugh Wales are odd. Let's give France a 20 point lead before we start playing eh. They didn't even score any offensive tries. We know we've got the talent, it's just when we get a few injuries we're fucked. No strength in depth what so ever. No Gethin Jenkins, Matthew Rees, Mike Phillips, Tom Shanklin, Alun Wyn Jones, Ian Gough, etc. Just too much for us. The plus side to it is that heading into a World Cup year, guys like Deiniol Jones, Bradley Davies, Luke Charteris and Sam Warburton are gaining experience. As we all know, it's a squad game these days.

Ireland do have good squad depth now, which is weird. A couple of years ago it was hard to see where the players were coming from, now there'a a good mix of youngsters and experience. Next year will be the last season for O'Gara, O'Driscoll, Hayes etc. I expect.

When Ireland won only 2/5 in the 6 Nations 2 years ago I thought that was the start of a tough few years for the team, but fair play they're arguably the best now than they have been the past decade.
